I have posted three times previously about this case, NC Board of Dental Examiners versus Federal Trade Commission, both because it is a case originating in North Carolina and because it provides a good example of the sort of rent-seeking behavior that results in unnecessary government regulation of services to the public.

My first and second posts are HERE and HERE.  In my third post back in August, HERE, I said the the Supreme Court would not hear the case until the 2015 session.  I was wrong, as THIS post by Damon Root today at the online Reason Magazine attests.  The Court is hearing oral arguments today.
